Thanks for the tips. I should have mentioned that my custom child theme is setup to use HTML5, not XHTML. I've already updated my code with the recent changes to action priorities. I also have "Show Post Title" selected in the widget options.
Another clue, hopefully: The Featured Posts Widget will link the title to the right URL if I have "All Categories" selected in the widget options. Once I switch that to a category, the title link points to the homepage.
I think, for this project, I'm going to replace the three widget areas on the homepage with custom fields. I know this will come up again, though, for another project. Frustrating...
ramseypMemberHi there,
You can - you'll need to edit your theme's style.css file. If you have something like this:
.menu-primary li a:active, .menu-primary li a:hover, .menu-primary li:hover a, .menu-primary .current_page_item a, .menu-primary .current-cat a, .menu-primary .current-menu-item a, .menu-secondary li a:active, .menu-secondary li a:hover, .menu-secondary li:hover a, .menu-secondary .current_page_item a, .menu-secondary .current-cat a, .menu-secondary .current-menu-item a, #header .menu li a:active, #header .menu li a:hover, #header .menu li:hover a, #header .menu .current_page_item a, #header .menu .current-cat a, #header .menu .current-menu-item a { background-color: #fff; color: #ed702b; }
Remove the lines that contain current-menu-item in them so it looks something like this:
.menu-primary li a:active, .menu-primary li a:hover, .menu-primary li:hover a, .menu-secondary li a:active, .menu-secondary li a:hover, .menu-secondary li:hover a, #header .menu li a:active, #header .menu li a:hover, #header .menu li:hover a { background-color: #fff; color: #ed702b; }

Curious - why wouldn't you use the built-in Navigation Menus that Genesis supports? Lifestyle, as coded, places the Primary menu location above the header, but the Secondary menu is full-width, below the header. You could use just that one & be fine, I believe. With dropdowns, too.
Can you share a little more as to why the built-in menus aren't working? That would help.
Cheers!
ramseypMemberIt looks like you have a stray Page somewhere. The menu item is supposed to point to /about-me/ but when you click that, what loads is /about-me-2/.
Check the Trash on your Pages & Posts. Make sure another page / post with the same title is not in there. Delete it from the Trash if so. (It's good practice to not leave things in Trash anyway because of just this sort of conflict.)
Once you know there is no other object with that title, edit the slug on your About Me page so it's not about-me-2. Save it & view the page again. You should see the menu recognize that page as the current menu item. If it doesn't, after all that, Edit your main menu. Delete the old menu item & add back in that Page.
Cheers!

I think if you set a Page as your homepage, you'll be better off than editing the CSS to hide .home #inner.
Try this:
1) Unhide .home #inner by uncommenting out that CSS.
2) Select a Page to use as your front page in your Reading Settings.
3) Make sure that page has a Featured Image.
4) Edit that Page, giving it the Full-Width layout.
5) Edit your site Description to say what you want under the image.
6) Lastly, look in your theme and edit page-title.php. The "Subscribe Now" button is hard-coded in this file. If you don't want it to show under the image, you need to edit this file. For example, to remove the button when you have a Page as your front page, you'll look for this:
elseif ( is_singular( 'page' ) ) {
echo '<div id="page-title"><div class="wrap"><p>' . esc_html( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) . '' . __( 'Subscribe Now', 'minimum' ) . '</p></div></div>';
}Edit it so it looks like this:
elseif ( is_singular( 'page' ) ) {
echo '<div id="page-title"><div class="wrap"><p>' . esc_html( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) . '</p></div></div>';
}Those steps should give you something that works.
Cheers!
ramseypMemberHi there, you've a maintenance mode plugin turned on which prevents anyone from seeing your site. If you can disable that, someone might be able to help with that first issue.
Cheers!
ramseypMemberIf Minimum is installed and selected as your active theme, You should have, in the WordPress main menu, "Portfolio", right after "Comments" and before "Genesis". If you don't see that menu item, something's off.
ramseypMemberHi there,
In the Genesis Theme Settings, under "Content Archives", you should check to see if the "Include the Featured Image?" checkbox is set. If it is, uncheck it, save your settings & see if that featured image is gone when you view the category archive.
Cheers!

ramseypMemberI don't know an easy answer for that. I think ideally, you would load the image as CSS background, not an image tag in the HTML. I would consider loading the lowest resolution / quality image I could and would do so conditionally, based on screen widths or bandwidth.
ramseypMemberThe RSS link looks correct. It should be returning an XML file, which it is.
It looks like the plugin's "Open links in new window" setting is global, so you can't remove that on a link by link basis. However, you can remove the target attribute on the mailto link with some jquery. In your Genesis Theme Settings, look for the "Header and Footer Scripts" section. In either of them ( I usually use the footer box ), paste this:
<script>jQuery(document).ready(function($){ $('.social-profiles a[href^="mailto"]').removeAttr('target'); });</script>
That will target a mailto link in the social profiles div and remove it's target attribute, which causes the blank window to open.
Cheers!

ramseypMemberIn your slider settings, what size image are you using? It may be sizing the slide based off the size set, rather than the size of the actual images in the slides.
ramseypMemberHi Amy,
I did something like this once. In this case, above the post title itself, I wanted the arrows to show. In my child theme's functions.php, I wrote this:
/** * Single Post next/prev links * */ function s25_prev_next_post_nav() { if ( ! is_singular( 'post' ) ) return; ?> <div class="navigation"> <div class="prev"><?php previous_post_link('%link', '«', TRUE); ?></div> <div class="next"><?php next_post_link('%link', '»', TRUE); ?></div> </div> <?php } add_action( 'genesis_before_post_title', 's25_prev_next_post_nav' );
ramseypMemberHi Sara,
Are you wanting to space out the top-level menu items across the width of the page? It looks like the navigation menu is already full-width, it just doesn't sufficient content to fill out that space. If you don't want to add any more to the top-level menu, you could do some editing to the stylesheet to space them out.
It's hard to know the right path to take without knowing more of what you want. How do you want it to look in the end?
Cheers!
Pat
ramseypMemberI don't know of an easy answer for this, except to search the WordPress plugin repository for something that does this.
Alternatively, you could use a hosted service like Vimeo / Youtube and setup private video files. You may be able to embed them, but they're only accessible from your site. Not certain someone determined enough wouldn't be able to grab the original file, though.
April 25, 2013 at 8:39 am in reply to: The color of a parent link in menu when sub-pages are hovered over #37654ramseypMemberHi Rob,
This selector should work for you:
`.genesis-nav-menu li.sfHover a.sf-with-ul`
Add that to your CSS where you've got the hover states and the parent menu link should stay in "hover" state while you're in the sub menu.
ramseypMemberBob, I would try Nick's replacement plugin, Genesis Featured Widget Amplified. It lets you use custom post types in the widget, along with other enhancements. Much easier than the Query Posts widget.
ramseypMemberIf you want the whole widget background to be black, this should work (in your style.css):
`.widget.featured-listings { background: #000; }`
To turn the widget's font to white, this should work (also placed in style.css):
`.featured-listings .listing { color: #fff; }`
April 8, 2013 at 9:35 am in reply to: How do I create a dark-colored "frame" to surround text on a light background? #33989ramseypMemberEd,
Apologies - I had a couple of typos in my original code. Try the code below in place of what you've added to style.css
body { background-color: #2d3037; }
#content { -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 20px; background: #fff; }
#title a, #title a:visited, .genesis-nav-menu a, .navigation li a, .widgettitle a, #footer p {
color: #fff;
}
ramseypMemberCameron,
You should be able to do so with Conditional Tags. With these, you can wrap your custom fields output so they show only when the condition is met.
Cheers!
Pat
